Maya Eventov grew up in Leningrad, in the former Soviet Union. At a young age, Eventov was exposed to some of the finest art in St. Petersburg. “I lived behind the Iron Curtain, but we had rich collections of works available for viewing at the Hermitage and Russian Museum as well as many other Leningrad museums.” It was there that Maya began to develop an understanding for the technical aspect of artwork as well as a growing appreciation for the works of some of Europe’s finest master artists.

After graduating in 1987 with a master’s degree in graphic design, she began working as an illustrator for children’s books. In the early 1990s, Maya immigrated to Canada. “I’m a happy person; I enjoy beautiful flowers and landscapes. I am captivated by smells and colours that convey the strength of emotion in a happy painting.” Her work is represented in galleries throughout Canada, Great Britain and the United States.
